Jobs in Kernersville, NC

WARFIGHTERS NEED MEDICAL WARRIORS.

Saving lives is the mission-but for Special Operations medics, it's a mission fought in the shadows. These elite medical specialists don't just treat injuries; they bring life-saving expertise into the fight.

From stabilizing wounded operators under enemy fire to leaping from helicopters and diving with Special Operations teams, Hospital Corpsmen in the Advanced Technical Field (HM-ATF), are trained to handle medical emergencies wherever the mission takes them. As part of an exclusive group supporting SEALs, Divers, SWCC, and EOD teams, they deliver critical care in the most extreme conditions. You might serve in one of three roles: a Search & Rescue Medical Technician, a Dive Medical Technician or as a Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman.

It's not easy to earn the title "Doc." But when warfighters put their lives on the line, they need a medical warrior by their side.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS CORPSMAN: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS

Responsibilities

Those in the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field go beyond the duties of basic Hospital Corpsman, working in austere and challenging environments while saving lives. Each of the three classifications has its own responsibilities:

Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman (SOIDC)

• Provide advanced medical care and operational services for Marine Reconnaissance, USMC Special Operations Forces and Navy Special Operations Command personnel, like SWCC and SEALs
• Engage as a team member in direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense and unconventional warfare

Search and Rescue Medical Technician (SMT)

• Rescue patients and deliver emergency care from the back of a helicopter
• Perform aircrew duties and En Route Care (ERC) for routine illness and emergent patients
• Provide relief and assistance in areas ravaged by catastrophic natural disasters
• Support Search and Rescue (SAR), tactical evacuation (TECEVAC), Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC), casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) and Combat Search & Rescue (CSAR) for Navy and Marine Corps Aviation

Deep Sea Diving Medical Technician (DMT)

• Provide basic medicine and assist medics in prevention and treatment of diving related illnesses, injuries associated with deep sea diving and hyperbaric conditions
• Operate, test and repair all Navy diving equipment
• Perform underwater inspections, harbor/port/ship security inspections, conduct ordnance searches, rescue personnel, engage in special warfare and small boat operations
• Operate Swimmer Delivery Vehicle Dry-Deck Shelter system and submarine Lock-in/Lock-out systems

Work Environment

As a Hospital Corpsman, you have the most diverse range of work environments in the Navy. Your job will likely take you all over the world-and far out of your comfort zone. If you choose to go the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field route, you will work in extreme and sometimes precarious conditions. From deep-sea diving to combat missions to flying in MH-60 Romeo helicopters, you will train outside the realm of conventional military forces to prepare for any mission. You may work independent of a physician or under supervision in this program.

Training & Advancement

Upon completion of initial training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as Boot Camp), you'll report for specialized training including:

Hospital Corps "A" School (19 weeks) in San Antonio, Texas for training on basic principles and techniques of patient care and first aid procedures.

After "A" School, HM-ATF candidates track to one of three advanced training paths:

• Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman Pipeline (121 weeks)
  Areas of training include but are not limited to basic reconnaissance, airborne operations, combatant diving, demolitions, clinical diagnostics, advanced trauma skills, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), basic surgical anesthesia, basic veterinary medicine and basic dental exams.
• Search and Rescue Medical Tech Pipeline (27 weeks)
  Areas of training include but are not limited to advanced fluid resuscitation, administration and management of Advanced Life Support medications, use of emergency medical equipment, rescue and recovery devices and patient handling.
• Medical Deep Sea Diving Tech Pipeline (28 weeks)
  Areas of training include but are not limited to diving physics, scuba and surface-supplied air diving, recognition and treatment of diving related illnesses.

After completing your pipeline, you'll receive your first assignment. You'll go wherever you're needed, which can be anywhere in the world. Automatic promotion opportunities are available but are competitive and based on completion of pipeline.

Post-Service Opportunities

There's no better way to begin a successful career in health care than by serving in the medical support division of America's Navy. Specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian world, such as Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Home Health Aide, Anesthesiologist Assistant and more.

Education Opportunities

Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the medical field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.

You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Navy Doctor

Becoming a doctor is one of the most challenging paths you can choose for yourself. You have to want it, and to know why you want it: to help people, to heal sickness and cure disease, to solve medical mysteries and make scientific discoveries. The reasons for becoming a doctor are noble, but there are plenty of distractions once you hit the real world.

Running your own office means watching insurance reimbursement rates dwindle while exorbitant malpractice insurance premiums skyrocket, all while dealing with healthcare industry red tape and staffing. But as a Navy Physician, all those nuisances are handled for you-from cutting through the red tape to covering the expenses-so you can focus on what really matters: treating the Sailors and Marines who keep our country safe and the families who support them.

Navy Physicians also:

Earn excellent compensation in an established, thriving practice
Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care
Receive hands-on experience and Navy-funded advanced training
Enjoy a flexible schedule that leaves more time for family and personal pursuits

Officers in the Navy Medical Corps are afforded the opportunity to attend the medical school of their choice and graduate debt-free through our scholarship and loan repayment programs. From a sign-on bonus of up to $800,000, and up to 100% tuition coverage, to a generous housing allowance, the education opportunities and financial rewards stack high for those pursuing a career as a Navy Physician.

Reserve Physicians primarily drill one weekend a month at a location near their home.

For Students:

The Navy may pay for your medical education, and you don't need to attend a military medical school. Attend a school of your choice and you may emerge debt-free. With the Navy Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP), you may receive 100% tuition coverage during medical school, plus a monthly stipend, reimbursement of expenses and up to $20,000 sign-on bonus. With the Navy Health Services Collegiate Program (HSCP) , you may receive from $157,000 to $269,000 while attending medical school.

Part-Time Opportunities in the Navy Reserve Medical Corps

Serve your country as a physician and part-time Navy medical officer.

Navy commissioned physicians attend to service members and their families. They have opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts at home and around the world. They work at state-of-the-art military medical facilities and have access to advanced training and technology, including those not yet available to civilian providers. Navy healthcare offers the ability to focus on the finer points of medicine without the financial and business complications of private practice.

Physicians in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with this job, initial training requirements must first be met.

Navy Physicians also:

Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care
Receive hands-on experience and Navy-funded advanced training
Enjoy a flexible schedule that leaves time for family and personal pursuits

As a Navy Physician and an Officer in the Navy Medical Corps, you will help lead the highly respected Navy healthcare team as you provide high-quality medical care for Sailors, Marines, other service members, their families, and, when called upon, humanity at large.

You will handle everything a typical physician does, such as diagnosing ailments, treating injuries, and saving lives. You also can move beyond routine:

Work at the best military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field
Teach and mentor medical students, post graduate trainees, and more junior colleagues
Collaborate with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers, and partner with International Relief Teams and organizations, such as FEMA, USAID, and Project Hope
Operate as a leader within your focus area and get exposure outside your specialty
Gain leadership and management experience that will serve you well throughout your medical and military career

US Navy Reserve Medicine

Serving part-time as a Reservist, your duties will be conducted during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Physicians in the Reserve typically drill at a location close to their homes. This gives the flexibility to expand your medical experiences in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice at home.

Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.

Furthermore, serving as a Reservist physician allows for unique and exciting experiences beyond patient care. Career-long learning in areas within and beyond medicine is both the goal and expectation. You will have the opportunity to shape policy, teach, lead and mentor young men and women, and, if you choose to do so, potentially fly with aviators, sail on ships, dive with the submariners, and/or serve alongside Marines and special operators.

Pulmonary and Critical Care physicians serve essential roles as critical wartime specialists in the military healthcare system. Their efforts in our nation's conflicts have contributed to innovations and advancements in medical care because of their unique qualifications and training, military experiences and/or by their proximity to armed conflicts. These efforts have contributed to unprecedented survival rates in the recent Afghanistan and Persian Gulf conflicts. Pulmonologists and Intensivists also worked on the front lines of the Department of War's COVID-19 pandemic medical response.

For the required two week annual training, physicians may serve anywhere, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or in bases and camps in countries around the world.

Benefits include:

Repayment of qualified education loans to the lending institution, paid annually while serving
Annual bonuses for critical wartime specialists
Post 9/11 GI Bill (May transfer many of the benefits to immediate family members)
No-cost or low-cost medical and dental care for you and your eligible family members
Full Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Privileges (golf, gym, RV camping, movie theater, and discounted event tickets)
Stay at DoW lodging located on or near U.S. military installations for both duty and recreation
Military Commissary and Exchange Privileges
Space "A" Availability for Air Travel
VA Home Loans
Miscellaneous military discounts with your military-issued ID card

An immediate one-time sign-on bonus of up to $10,000

Navy Reserve Sailors joining the Navy Medical Corps as residents can get a monthly stipend in excess of $2,200 while completing their residency. Offers based on service commitment. For complete offer details, request a medical recruiter contact you.

Job Requirements:

MD or DO degree from an accredited U.S. school of medicine or osteopathy; foreign graduates may apply with a permanent certificate from the Educational Council of Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG)

Current license to practice medicine in the United States, District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico
Eligibility for board certification
Completion of at least one year of an approved graduate medical education program
Between 21 and 42 years of age (waivers may be granted on a case-by-case basis up to age 68)

For current or former Navy Officers (NAVET):

Prior experience satisfies the initial leadership training requirement - so you will not need to go through Officer Training again.

For current or former Officers of military branches other than the Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior military experience:

Officer Candidates are required to attend Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. ODS is a five-week program that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers. Officers who previously held a commission in another United States Military Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Public Health Service, or United States Coast Guard are exempt from attending ODS or LDO/CWO Academy.
